Again in the same month General Grant
sent these instructions to Sheridan relating
to the work:
IN gripping Loudon county of supplies. &C.,
IMPRESS IRON all loyal persons so that they may
receive pay for what is taken from them. / am
Informed by the Assistant Secretary OF War that
L0udon county has large population of Quakers,
Mho are all fayorably disposed TO the Union.

Another dated several days earlier said;

groes. SO as to prevent further painting. II the

doah Valley to remain barren waste
Later in September General Grant tele-
graphed to Sheridan:

should receive pay for their stock grain Sc. II
is our interest that that county should not he can
able of subsisting hostile army and at the same
TINE we want to infilet as little hardship upon
Uhlon men as possible.
Later In November this order was sent:
Do you not think it advisable to notify all citi-
asils ivlhg east OF The Blue Ridge to move out
north Of Potomac all their stock Of grain and pro
visions OF every descriptions. There is no doubt
about the necessity of cleaning out that country
50 that ii win not support Mosby's gang. And
the question is whether il is not better that the
people should save what they can. So long as the
war lasts they must be prevented from raising
another crop, both there and as high up the val
| ley as we can control.
Sheridan carried out his orders, and there
is no doubt that the despoiling of the She
nandoah Valley was very terrible. But it
was infinitely less terrible than it would
have been to have allowed the farmers of
the valley to continue to raise crops for the
support of the rebel armies that were fight
ing such destructive battles. Sheridan
orders are his justification; and the justif-
cation of the act.

The Shenandoah campaIen.

The senseless attack that the ex-Confeder-
ate Rosser made on General Sheridan has
aroused considerable controversy as to the
orders under which the latter acted while in
the Shenandoah. Several of these orders
have been printed. They were directly from
General Grant, and are interesting, not only
as bearing on the present controversy, but as
giving some idea to this rising generation of
what war is. Here is one of the orders from
Grant to Sheridan, dated August, 1864:
Ifyou can possibly spare division of cavalry,
send them through Loudon county to destroy
and carry OH crops, animals, negroes, and all men

The present Connecticut Legislature has
earned the doubtful distinction of having
sat longer that any previous Legislature.
The fact, however, that this is the first of
the biennial sessions and that it has had to
adopt the governmental machinery to the
new order of things mitigates its offence
somewhat.

The California fruit dealers are making
strenuous efforts to get rate of freight
across the continent that will enable them to
put their oranges and grapes into Eastern
markets at prices that will make a large de-
mand. The prospect is that the fruit crop of
California will be immense. Well Informed
growers estimate that there will be from
1000 to 5000 carloads Of green fruit for east
ern shipment exclusive Of citrous fruits.
Last year the shipments of green fruit
amounted only to about 1000 car loads. In
less a market for some of this fruit can be
found in the East the overproduction is
likely to have very serious and discourag
ing effect upon the fruit-raising industry.
There are two ways Of getting California
fruit East: in single cars attached to passen
ger trains; and in ten-car fruit trains run
ming on strictly passenger time. Last year
single car or the passenger train cost six
hundred dollars to Chicago; this year. unless
the Interstate commerce law interferes IL
is expected that $500-rate can be obtained.
For train loads it is expected that much
lower rate per car can be made. Last sea-
son through fruit freights were run, but not
on strictly passenger time. This year. or If
not this year, very soon, swift expresses
equal in speed to any passenger trains. will

Sir Charles Upper tells the Canadian Par
lament that it is to be regretted that the
United States now has a Democratic Presi-
dent and a Republican Senate, as the admin
istration is thus unable to carry out any ar
engagements it may propose. This shows
that Sir Charles's knowledge of American
affairs is theoretical rather than practical.
AS a matter of fact the dissensions Of a
Democratic House have troubled the admins
tration more than the dlgnifed attitude of
the Republican Senate.

Globe thinks that If Mr.. Blaine is not the

name after Col. Edwards's and the omission

ness Of the compositor. The correspondent

Charles James Faulkner, the new Senator
from West Virginia, was in 1852, a boy of
fifteen and cadet at the Virginia Military
Institute at Lexington. With the cadets he
served in the battle of Newmarket, where he
distinguished himself by his daring. Later
he was on the staff of General j. c. Breckin-
ridge; and when the latter became Confeder-

Grand Master Workman Powderly has is
sued another circular. This one relates to
the celebration Of Fourth of July which he
suggests the Knights should generally OBJ
serve throughout the county. He directs
them to use only one fiag-the Stars and
Stripes-a strong hint to keep the commun-
istic element out of their professions. He
thinks the day should be devoted to a dis
cussion of the land question. On this sub
jecthe says:
desire that the question of the restoration OF
the peoples lands to the care of the people be dis
cussed. Pass resolutions declaring that the hold
ing OF from 10000, 900 TO go 900 GOO of acres of
the public domain by aliens Is sinful and un Amer
lean, Go further, and demand HAT the alien
landlord shall let go his hold. Pass resolutions
declaring that every acre of Land acquired by
fraud, perjury or chicanery, is an acre stolen
and demand that the thief be required TO make
restitution to the people. Pass resolutions never
TO take your eyes off the land until one good
plain, simple, honest law shall govern the hold
ing Of land, whether the holder be rich or poor
individual or corporation Make the land for the
people, under the peoples laws, the great ques-
water alone that our fathers fought: it was for
the Land, and we must hold this land free from the
shark and SPECTATOR whether or alien.
This is not an endorsement of the George
doctrine, but very likely the Grand Master
Workman has suggested the discussion of
the land question with view Of giving that
doctrine in which he is believer, a boom.

The Pennsylvania high license law is con-
sidered very satisfactory, though the fee
does not run as high as in Illinois. The rate
is $500 for Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Allie
gheny; $500 in the smaller cities; $3.50 in
boroughs, and 500 in townships. The
granting of licenses is given, in the large
cities as well as in the State, to the court Of
quarter sessions. The State gets one-fifth,
the county one-ffth and the municipality
three-ffths of the license revenue The sa-
loon interests made their greatest fight
against the provision giving to the court of
quarter sessions the granting Of licenses.
This is expected to take the enforcement of
the law out of politics, result which the
saloon keepers especially dread But it is
well for the law and the politics of Pennsyl-
vania that the saloon keepers did not sue
coed.

The Connecticut Legislature is struggling
with medical registration bin very similar
to the one passed by the Maine Legislature.
The bill does not exclude from practice any

for the future that an official register shall

practice shall not be entitled to registration
or to practice in the State; also that resi-
dents of other States shall not practice in
this State, unless by way of consultation,
without previously registering as required by
